Is It Safe To Take Lumigan For Glaucoma?
I have glaucoma and have been using Lumigan for 2years.
I had bilateral cataract surgery in January with a lot of inflammation(maybe due to the pseudoexfoliation I have)
I had to use steroid drops for 3 months. I now have very itchy, sore eyes
Should I think about asking for a different med to control my eye pressure?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having glaucoma and you are on treatment with lumigan.
Lumigan is bimatorpost and is one of the first line of drug for treatment of glaucoma.
If the intraocular pressure is increased even with treatment then you may require to add one more antiglaucoma drug for treatment.
Thank you
